She believes that well-being is just as much about what we put into our bodies as what we put onto our bodies, be it food, thoughts or products.

I’ve been coming to Ubud, Bali, since 2001, this being my fifteenth time here. I keep coming back for many reasons, one of them being the sensation of plugging into a love vibe, which nourishes, inspires and recharges me. Here in Ubud manifestations of love can be witnessed everywhere.

Ecstatic dance is my favourite form of movement. Just to give you an idea, I’ve danced ballet, ballroom, jazz, Latin, teen hiphop (as an adult), KPop, Beyonce booty pop, and Bollywood; I’ve tried karate, boxing and kick-boxing; then there’s Zumba, aerobics, combat aerobics; yoga, Pilates and back exercises; mountain-biking, running and spinning; and goodness knows what else.

It’s August 6th 2015, day 4 of my Matthew Kenney Raw Food Chef Training in Huahin. Wait a moment, I hear you think, “I thought you already were a raw food chef”. Well, I did Elaina Love’s training in Bali in 2013, and that certified me as a raw food chef and educator by Pure Joy Academy. This is my personal desire to upgrade my skills and knowledge and learn from what I consider the best raw food academy that I know of.
